FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The primary upper material is suede, with a synthetic lining and a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday style, not for specialized athletic performance.
How should I clean the blue suede upper?
For cleaning, use a suede brush for light dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid water immersion or machine washing.
What does the '91 edition reissue mean?
It signifies that these trainers are a faithful reproduction of the adidas Gazelle model released in 1991.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner sparingly with a cloth, then brush once dry. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length and color. These trainers use a standard lacing system.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For older soles that have lost grip, replacement may be necessary, though this is typically not a user-serviceable part.
